Cesar 911

I was invited to join in a conference call to interview Cesar Millan about his new TV show, Cesar 911. In the Dog Whisperer it was the owner who contacted Cesar for help but for this new TV show the call could come from a neighbor, family member, relative or coworker for emergency help with a problem pooch. After a whistleblower contacts Cesar the viewer can only imagine that the intervention with the dog’s owner may not be met with open arms.

Cesar first begins the process by interviewing the whistleblower to get the details. The next step is working with what hopefully will be a cooperative owner who may be in denial about the problem or has just given up on finding a solution. Millan will work with the community to help rehabilitate the dog and their family.

During our phone interview Cesar stated, “this show is more about training the human than the dog.” Cesar believes it is the “actions of the humans that create the problems.” In one case Cesar told us that it was the victim of a dog bite who called him for help.

Cesar 911debuts March 7th at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. on the National Geographic channel.

The show is produced by ITV Studios America in association with Leepson Bounds Entertainment. Millan, David Leepson and Jordan Roberts serve as executive producers. Each episode will include two stories within a community.
